Most laptops come with an OEM key which is bound to the system. To transfer it, you'd need to deactivate the key on your laptop, then you can use it on your desktop and it will tie in to your motherboard. To deactivate an OEM key, you'll have to contact Microsoft. 

 

You can't use the same key on two systems at once. You can buy keys from places like Reddit for pretty cheap though.
